If you miss pre-registering, you can still register on election day at your polling place. You will need proof of your identity and the address where you are living on election day. Use one of these for proof...

A current Minnesota Driver License, learner permit or identification card (or receipt for a new one) with your address

One of the above with a former address and a utility bill*

A U.S. passport or military ID card and a utility bill*

a "Notice of Ineffective Registration" card mailed to you by your county auditor (if you turned in a registration card late)

someone who is registered in the precinct where you live to vouch for you at the polling place

The memo was on the DSA website yesterday. Thousands of people have it on their hard drives. If you watched "Special Report with Brit Hume" you could have seen it on TV. The DSA is lying to cover its tracks. Don't buy the BS.

What does same-day registration have to do with their campaign if this is an honest organizing effort? It shouldn't matter WHEN they register voters. What is the intent of emphasizing the same-day registration law?

OK. The two posts here quoted what is now on the DSA site as if it was proof of a nefarious plan to thwart the will of the people. That is what I was objecting to. If proof existed at one point, but has since been destroyed, that's another story.

Also here are other related threads where this topic is discussed on Newsmax and in the local Minneapolis/St. Paul media. Do you really think they would have gone to press on this one unless they couldn't have confirmed the original source themselves?!

This ya gotta see - from Wellstone's own website. I wonder just what kind of "ingredients" are in the "secret recipe" of those brownies?!

Volunteer View

Sarah Mullins, a volunteer with the Wellstone for Senate campaign since February, took second place in the brownie category at the Minnesota State Fair. Every Wednesday, Sarah treats the staff at campaign headquarters to a batch of her award winning brownies, based on a secret recipewhich she refuses to divulge .and trust us weve tried.

This FR thread (and post of mine) is where I originally posted the information and YES, it was indeed a POP-UP until they pulled it as such. But the original URL still works.

OK. I accept the accuracy of your quote.

The only difference I see is that they say "young people" instead of "young Minnesotans" (presumably they made it more explicit in response to the public outcry). Still, you must make a logical leap to the conclusion that they intend to register non-Minnesotans. Nothing in the text justifies that conclusion. The fact that originally, they didn't explicitly say "We're not committing fraud!" is not evidence of fraud.

I think the confusing thing is they keep using the word "young" to describe not only the volunteers, but also the people they want to register. It makes it sound like they are the same people. It's a poorly-written memo, but it's benign.

Well, apparently what their intentions are is to exploit the loophole. Surely the DSA wouldn't need to pay transportation and housing for "locals"?!!!!

See this other post on the thread I mentioned above:

To: woofer

I live in the socialist republic of Minnesota and I can tell you that hasn't been the case for many years. A-N-Y-B-O-D-Y can walk up to an election judge, tell them they are so-and-so, the judge checks the computer list of registered voters and hands you a ballot card. NO ID, NO CROSS CHECK OF CRENDENTIALS OF ANY KIND. Any rat that keeps track of the old folks that die in the neighborhood they live in will compile a list of likely registered voters that won't be showing up to vote that fall. That's the way it is in metropolitan Minnesota today.

It would seem they're also trying to exploit "young" college-age students of legal voting age who are willing to drop classes, etc. in order to help out Wellstone. That's their targeted "audience" for this ad/former pop-up, apparently.

These dishonest bastards changed the text of the item on their web page! It used to say this:

Now it says this:

If it wasn't for FR, the text of the original would be LOST, and the DSA could get away with being a band of dishonest pig-$^#@%#$ers.

Here's the text from the pop-up that happens when one logs onto their site (I'll save you the trouble and spare them the "hit"! ;-):

I've read the DSA page several times. My point is that what that page is talking about is bringing people to Minnesota to conduct a late voter registration drive. Nothing on the page justifies the conclusion that the people being broght to Minnesota are going to vote themselves. I know everyone's het up over this, but it just isn't there.

And if they did intend to bring people to Minnesota to vote illegally, I don't think they'd publish a web page about it, much less suggest that donations are tax-deductible. Even Socialists aren't that stupid.

Most people don't realize how easy it is to commit voter fraud in Minnesota. Not only is same-day registration possible, the only identification you need is for another registered voter to "vouch" that you are a legal voter at the polling place.

A Democrat organization like the one above could shuttle the same voters around, allowing them to vote several times at several different polling places. All they'd need is a single previously registered voter at each polling station to do the "vouching."

There have been rumors in the past that welfare advocacy groups have pulled this very trick in Saint Paul in previous elections.

Their sh!t isn't going to stop. We simply have to recognize what the media will never admit, and the NJ and FL Supreme Courts are willing to abet:The democrat party is little more than organized crime, just with a new "front" operation.
